I have two problems: (a) It doesn't see the ethernet card. The card is a no-name 16-bit card, and the chip on it is labelled "MTD900F 9352 EE". Can anyone tell me if this is compatible with any of the standard cards? Its I/O address is configurable to 300/320/340/360 and if I build a kernel with ed0 at 340 (which is what it's set to) the system hangs when it probes it. Any suggestions (other than "buy a new card")? (b) I've installed FreeBSD on the SCSI disk, which works, but it doesn't see the IDE disk controller. This is probably because the machine has a Promise DC4030VL-2 caching disk controller. Can I do anything about this? -- Richard -- Richard Tobin, HCRC, Edinburgh University R.Tobin@ed.ac.uk "Your monkey has got it right, sir." - HHGTTG
